The economic consequences of the cononavirus pandemic is the subject of the 180th episode.

Our guest is Tony Fratto, former Assistant Secretary of Treasury and partner at Hamilton Place Strategies.

In the conversation we examine the multiple stimulus proposals on the table, and discuss the important of direct payments, the proposed payroll tax cut, the idea of interest free loans to small and medium sized businesses, whether certain industries should be bailout, and whether stock buybacks should be disallowed and if the federal government should receive an equity stake in return for taxpayer investment.
